Return of The River

Return of the River" presents a wide selection of Roberto Sosa's poetry in superb translations by JoAnne Engelbert.

Sosa's voice...is never ornate or emotionally explosive; it is controlled, reflective, and measured. Nevertheless, it is intensely emotional and pregnant with feeling, a feeling that is seductive and operates in the manner of an undertow."-"San Francisco Chronicle"

Born in Yoro, Honduras in 1930 into a poor family, Roberto Sosa had to struggle hard to gain an education and didn't publish his first book until he was nearly thirty. After he won the Adonais Prize (1969) and" "the Casa de las Americas Prize (1971), critics recognized him as a major talent.
